$Tesla(TSLA.US) I missed the rally on several trades by selling too early. It wasn't too painful today and I didn't lose money. It wasn't that I was right; actually, it was because the stock fluctuated up and down, giving opportunities to go long or short to break even. If the market had moved in one direction only, it would have been over. With fluctuations, as long as you're not too unlucky and not too greedy, you can break even.
